Tokyo- Saturday- Kamakura

We went to a famous city - Kamakura- for sightseeing and a day out. It was Golden Week  - a time when there are three major holidays. We were joined by our dear friends George & Nozomi Hite and about 10,000 other people.

The start of our walk.

Cotton candy anyone?

• 

Beer anyone ?

Perhaps a hot dog ?

Careful, these strawberries cost $2.00 each.

The long, long climb to the temple.

We had seen the temple before so we opted to just take this photo and skip the climb.

George and Nozomi

There were many wedding parties at Kamakura. I believe this was an auspicious day to get married.

Actually, this couple could have put a coin in the fortune vending machine to check their future.  If they liked what they read, there was a stand next to the machine where a priest would bless the fortune  - super charge it - for a small donation.

Off to the honeymoon..  No time for  fortune telling.
